Update.
ARP looked after me with over 300 bolts plus washers and nuts for my build. Almost every bolt will be 12 point high tensile and polished. Got a good couple of days in over the long weekend. Cheers, Ben http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_4387.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_4388.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/DSCN8552.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/DSCN8563.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/DSCN8561.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/DSCN8556.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/DSCN8559.JPG |
Hey Ben, you'll need your sunnies to work on the suspension :-)
Very nice - luv the Brake Logos. :-) Cheers Gregg |
Ok guys,

Fantastic work!!
Who manufactures the stack injection system? |
Gunna need dark tinted sunnies.
Looks great Ben. |
The bar has been lifted, again.
Ben,
What an amazing build. You have improved an already great product. Rohan |
8 stack is from Shauns Custom Alloy. He is doing a few other bits for me too.
Cheers, Ben |

I reckon they’ll be a must for the GT40. What was the damage if you don’t mind me asking? What system are you going to use to run it? Cheers |
@ Beejay, a work of ART. I was so happy just installing my knock-off on my Sunbrust's (for Christmas) then I see your work, make's me look like a 3rd. grader :) If you want my whole story on the weekend with the Cobra guy's,(1963)(Ken Miles) Pm me. Merry Christmas, Alfa02, Tom.

I love everything about this build!
Are you planning on running air filters? In a way, it would be cool to just leave the trumpets on show and accept that a bit of scuffing of the cylinders from dirty air is the price you pay for having the coolest looking engine. Then again, I'm not paying the bills... I reckon Shaun's and Marcella's manifolds are the most impressive looking intakes on the planet! https://www.facebook.com/shaunscustomalloy1/ Marcella Manifolds - Custom billet and fabricated intake manifolds |
Probably going to run a Haltech with flex fuel sensor so I can go E85 if needed.
Most of the 8 stack systems for LS engines seem to go for between $5k and $8k depending on features and quality. I will get some sick filters made up later for street driving😃 Cheers Ben |
A little more progress.
Nice to get the wheels on so it looks like a car. Ben http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...3425_small.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...3427_small.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...3435_small.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...3432_small.JPG |
Nice work with the chassis Ben. Bit hard to see in the top photo in the shade but looks like you've polished all the front, and powerder coated? the rear?
I want to build mine again now :) |
Hello Guy,
Polished from firewall forward and painted from there back. Powder coat looks good and is durable, but it would not allow me to fix up some of the distortion etc. My floors and fuel tank etc. are now completely flat. Don't pull yours apart, keep driving it! Cheers, Ben |
Looks awesome Ben. I think Wazza's got some new competition for Nats Show n Shine :-) Cheers Gregg
|
Everyone is quiet so here is an update
Headers ceramic coated. Custom logos milled in rocker covers http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/headers4.JPG Trial fit the dash. Speedhut gauges fit well http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/gauges2.JPG Windscreen trial fit http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/Cobra149.JPG Hoping to finish this year.... Ben |
Looking great Ben. That LS is looking very schmick. I was hoping we'd see it/you at Cobra Nats25? You could trailer it down for us to drool over you know :-) cheers Gregg
